Santa Spread Much Joy From A Fire Engine

December 24, 1999

Thank you to Mayor Carol Hanson and the wonderful people at the Boca Raton Fire and Rescue Department for sharing the Christmas spirit with 12 boys and girls at the Childrens Place South Saturday afternoon.

To see the anticipation of the children, ages 1 month to 7 years old, as the fire truck pulled up with Santa Claus in the passenger seat, the belief on their tiny faces that Santa would know each of them by name, and the realization that Santa, Mrs. Claus and the four elves came bearing gifts was a special Christmas moment.

The Children's Place South is a haven for the care and treatment of abused, abandoned and neglected infants and children.

Thank you for sharing the Christmas spirit with our county's youngest and most innocent victims.
